traditionalarcher, no doubt you're right. That other mangy one I caught last week was much further along. But not quite to Mr. Bigglesworth stage yet

throback, I was wondering about that. I read that canine sarcoptic mange is caused by a similar but slightly different parasite than the one that causes scabies in people. Either way I wear gloves when handling them.

Caught a reddish/golden one today. Luckily his coat was all in good shape.
